B57 · Reference edition 2026.11
Enclosure records — Layout and sequence
A complete record connects the stored-form sketch, construction sequence, material description and revision. Keep unknowns visible.
Scope and purpose
Place the relevant elements in a visible order before completing the record. A diagram should distinguish position from sequence and should preserve the orientation used in the written notes. Review the example for a practical way to make the relationship explicit.
Working notes
This collection describes enclosure forms, access routes and documentation practices for paper-based material. It is intended for reading and planning, not for directing treatment of fragile objects. Fold diagrams and record examples are original illustrations with no associated collection or accession data. Material descriptions distinguish observed features from documented properties. Decisions about a real object, its condition and its environment require the relevant professional judgement.
Practical example
Review the identifier across the drawing, material table and storage note.
